2026 NACDA U Application - Athletics Directors

NACDA U will provide the means for 100 athletics directors to attend the 2026 NACDA Spring Symposium (April 12-14, 2026 - Quantico, Va.)

Applicants must be current NACDA dues paying members to be considered.

The grant will be managed on a reimbursement basis to the recipient’s institution at the conclusion of the event (grant funds cannot be reimbursed to the individual) and will allocate $1,000 per event for registration and travel expenses. For planning and budgeting purposes, you will be notified of your selection as a grant recipient prior to the event registration launch.

(Please note: If you have previously been selected as a NACDA U recipient in the past, you are still encouraged to apply as previous selection does not prevent you from being selected again.)

Questions regarding the NACDA U program and process should be directed to Rachel Johnson in the NACDA National Office at rjohnson@nacda.com.
